Despite the probability of being labelled a Microsoft Fanboy, I am becoming less and less impressed with
Slashdot (or more and more disappointed…same thing
). Now, I know that it’s really just an Linux propoganda outlet but I do still retain the vain hope that some balance can be found there (there’s VERY few blogs which are rabidly pro-microsoft and anti-linux for example…well Scoble excepting). The latest is an article on the
MSN desktop search stuff, at the time I’m reading it there’s a bunch of comments for people who clearly haven’t even downloaded the tool with comments like this:
“
Great. Because, my biggest complaint about Microsoft is that the Web browsing isn't tightly integrated enough with the operating system yet. Now the innards of my computer can be thrown open to exploits like never before! “
I’m sorry but that sort of comment doesn’t help anyone, Google search is WAY worse for this and there’s just no evidence that the MSN search toolbar has any integration with the browser at all.
Right, that’s it…when I reach the point that that site is just winding me up…time to stop reading it (oh, and for balance, I’ll also stop reading Scoble for a few weeks
).
Oh, and sorry about the site…no time to fix it right now but I’ll get on it as soon as I have time (I finish with my current employer on May 31st…the 2 weeks before I start with Microsoft…so things on the site WILL improve then; and I’ll also get a chance to post some more articles I’ve cobbled together!)
